l>eing the absorbing question ol

Southern men of position and iniluence
concerning the future of
those States being especially important
at tliis juncture, a Herald
reporter was yesterday dispatched
to the Grand Hotel, on Broadway,
where Mr. Orr, Governor of South
Carolina under Andy Johnson, was
stopping, for the purpose of getting
Lis views on the political situation.
-Mr. Uit was accessiDie alter dinner,
and was'pleased to u:eet a repre-j
sentative of the Herald. lie arrived;
hero en Saturday for the purpose
ot transacting some private business,
and will leave fur Annapolis
this morning. lie is onS of the:
visitors to the Naval Academy.
The ex-Governor is a stout, rosychceke
:. i^od-humored gentleman
about sixiy years of age.
After some preliminary talk Mr.
Orr said, in answer to a question

not think much would come of
sending United States soldiers into
the South at this time.
Keporter. They will he anio to;
put down lawlessness in the South,}
Governor, will they not?
THE -SOLDIERS USELESS.
Mr. Oit. Xo: and I will tell yon j
why. The lawless persons don't j
coinniit enrnes where there are
armed forces; it is only in wild audi
iin frequented places that thevj
operate. It takes some time for
n messenger to reach the place
where the soldiers are stationed,!
I and a longer time for the hitter to;
reach the scene of disturbance. Orj
course when they get there theyt
iind nothing to suppress and uo-J
l>ody to arrest.
Jieporter. Then you admit thatj
lawiess bauds exist in the South? I
Mr. Orr. Indeed I do; at leasU
in South Carolina. 1 don't know:
how it may he in other .-States, but;
we have it them. . They arc .political
bodies, too. Can't say whatI
ihey are driving at; but, undoubtedly,
they are -actuated by hatred I
t?t the Yankees. They are a trouble
and a nuisance .to all citizens j
who uro

and these are .a .majority of the
people of the State. Most of tliem

of our (Confederate) army;. but of
this I ?.iji not certain. I suppose :
Ku Klws. would be the proper, name I f
.lor them.
.Reporter. If.they arc trouble- '
p^liio to ttic peaceful . citizens of
the State, why don't the citizens
suppress then! i
Mr. Orr. That's just it. I wish

a different policy had not been I

ot Johnson had been given n fair

state of affairs in the South to-day. j

made a mistake; he should not
have tried to run the whole business
himself, but have called Congress
together and submitted his

him, and all would have
been ?vcl!. It was .

the present condition of tho negroes, j
and he expressed the op'nion, which!
appears to lie generally entertained i
by thoughtful and observant South-;
jorn men, that tho black race in the J
United States is diminishing in tium-j
|Iters, and will ultimately disappear.:
: lie said that the negroes did not
!give proper euro to their youilg chil-j
cren, and to the sick, and now that j
the whites had no interest in caring|
Ifor them they were dying rapidly.j
' He thought that ultimate extinction |
j was the inevitable fate.of the race. I!
; asked if ho thought there was any
j tendency among the negroes of the
! more Northern of the former slave
States to emigrate to the Gulf States.
, lie did not believe there was. A
'number of negroes had been brought
into Mississippi from North Carolina
and other States, by tho agents of
large planters, but the movement did I
not originate with tho blacks. Those
who would bo benefited by emigr
tion wero too ignorant and too poor
to move, and tho more intelligent
were doing well where they were,
und had no object to leave their
liMinos. Mr. Davis told of one of his
' - - -L~~ l b. ! ?u..!
lormor Slaves, u man --?? uiautv as Hie
ton of spades," who had bought two
plantations in Mississippi, one of Mr.
Davis and one of his brother, fr?-m
which ho had sold 2100 hales of cotton
ast year. Ho wrote a p;ood hand,
cept accounts well, and hud his agents
n St Louis, who did not suspect tliey
ivere dealing with a black man. Such
nstances of business talent -among ,
.he negroes Mr Davis thought were
rery rare. As a rule they hud show-n
10 ability to accumulate property.
Mr. Davis spoke in a deliberate i
ray, and in a low and pleasing tone i
>f voice, instead of that of a selfreli- ,
mt man who lias played a prominent
iart in history, instead of looking '
mo the faces of his listeners, he 1
ooked downward in the half-diffident
vavofone who has cultivated a habit ;
f seeking to escape observation, and,
is bespoke, ho frequently spread his
lands out and tapped .the ends of his !
ingers together. The general im- '
nvssion he made was that of a man I
vho lias experienced great trhds and |
iiisfortunes, arid has lost?ilI ambition
>r the future. The conversation was
!
loariy all upon commonplace suujoeis,
ml w.ms constantly interrupted by '
ho arrival and introduction of .new
o nuM's in id the departure of men who (
iad only remained .a few minutes. ;
.'ho manner of the people present |

ome humorous reference to .the .nnnerous
family of John Rogers. All
he callers appeared to carefully fTvoid
ii}* reference to the war, perhaps .on
ecount of the presence of a Northrner
whom they preferred not-to!
iave for a listener. In the evening,
lie "ex-President," as he is- usually

were delighted. All through the
South the women cherish a love for
the ''lost cause" with a pertinacity
that seems like a species ot insanity,
and the earliest instruction they give
their children is to reverence the
dead Confederacy, its flag, and its
heroes, and to Iwite the Yankees and
the Very name of the United Stales.
Even now,- when six years have
elapsed since the end of the war, these
families will not allow their children j
to play with tlio children of ^Northern
people, and a Southern woman who
ven111 res to associate with the hated
Yankee is denoni ced and 'ostracised
by her triends as a renegade, Mr.
Davis left this morning, and a large
crowd assembled at the station to bid
him farewell. His reception hero
showed more truly than resolutions
of conventions or declarations of public
men the real feeling of the people.
The cause for which they fought for
five years is not forgotten, and is only
abandoned from necessity; but its
chief is as dear to them as he was the
day ho was capture*! in his flight
from the wreck of hio ruined Confederacy.
